When the average person thinks of an alien, they'll often picture a small, gray creature with large eyes,

or perhaps a more ferocious black-skinned creature from a film series.

document contains a series of false documentation related to SCP 2998. Due to a strangely resilient

info hazard, the foundation can't seem to delete these documents,

but eventually we'll reach the current, accurate information.

SCP 2998 is an electromagnetic signal with a frequency of 24,085 megahertz,

with an indeterminate origin source, although it can apparently be found

throughout our entire solar system. The foundation modified standards worldwide for radio

frequencies and electronic manufacturing so that no civilian piece of equipment could pick up

the signal. The signal was originally believed to be simply white noise that was being anomalously broadcast across gray distances,

but eventually the foundation found and decoded information being broadcast along with the signal.

This information turned out to be video footage of a humanoid entity floating in a dark room under extreme
